Skill Level:
All Skill Levels Welcome
Instructor:
Emily Hojnowski
Recommended Prerequisites:
We recommend you take this class if you have a DSLR or mirrorless camera; Bridge Cameras are also acceptable

Do you have a new DSLR that you have no idea how to use? Have you had your camera for 6 months, a year or more and want to take better pictures? Are you putting your camera away because you just don’t see the difference between your expensive camera and your smart phone?

Learn to fully utilize your cameras potentials! Harness your creative power with photography!

This is one of the first classes to consider when you’re getting started with your Digital SLR or Mirrorless camera. We will discuss Exposure (how light works with the camera), the Big Three Settings (Aperture, Shutter Speed, & ISO), how they affect your picture and how to set them, and what mode to set it to on your camera! We’ll discuss changing depth-of-field (controlling what’s in focus in the background, stopping or blurring the action in your scene, and many other basic picture-taking techniques. We recommend taking this class prior to Digital Photography Basics 2, which is the next logical step!
